THE FUNERAL.
1t Will Occur To-Day--The Bodies
to Be Placed in the Waldheim
Vault.
CHICAGO, Nov. 12.-WithOut banners,
without speeches, with no music save
dirges, the blackening, repulsive re-
mains of the five Haymarket murdererS
who persisted by rope and bomb, will to-
morrow be borne to a lonely tomb ten
miles out from the city of their fearful
crime and death. Mayor Roche to-day
sent for the committee of arrangements
for the funeral of the men executed
Friday. and had long interview with
them. Ordinarily no permit is required
for funeral, but owing to the circum-
stances of this case the mayor deemed it
best for the city to assume a general
oversight of the whole affair. The COM
mittee itself requested that sufficient
police should be around to clear the
way and preserve order, and readily ac-
guessed in all suggestions made by the
mayor. As result of the conference
the final application was made.

THE MAYOR HOPES
an presumes that this funeral will pro-
ceed quietly and orderly as all other
funerals are accustomed to do. At the
same time he says careful and thorough
preparations have been made for the
Quelling of any possible disturbance. 1t
was definitely decided this afternoon
that the remains of August Spies should
not be laid in state in Aurora Turn
Halle tomorrow. State Representative
Frank A. Stauber. who is at the head of
the committee of arrangements, declares
that the refusal to allow the remains in
the hall was due to the fear of the own
erS that the police would revoke their
license to sell liquors if it should be
done. This the owners deny. One of
them declared that the only reason for
the refusal was the fact that the place
had already been engaged by other par
ties for an entertainment. The question
of the primary disposal of the dead
anarchists was settled this afternoon.
They will he taken to Waldheim ceme-
terry and placed in the vault for the time
being. The committee represented to
the directors of the cemetery that the
vault in Waldheim being lately con-
structed and on improved principles
was the strongest of any cemetery in or
near Chicago. Mr.. Stauber declared to
the directors that it was
FEARED BY THE FAMILIES
of the anarchists, that a determined eff
fort would be made by the physicians,
to get possession of the remains for dis
section, and they wanted them well
protected. AT last the directors agreed
to allow the bodies to be placed in the
vault, but reserved their decision as to
whether they would sell to the commit
tee plot of ground in which to bury
the remains. Punctually at noon

will be admitted to take a last
look at the cOrpses at their
late homes, and shortly after this the
cortege will start from Mrs. Fischer's
house. 1t will stop at Mrs. Parsons
house, where the hearse containing the
coffin will take its place in the process
sion, and the Knights of Labor and
others will fall into line. The con-
course following Spies body will join
the procession to where Lingg's and
Engels bodies lie. Then the procession
will be formed with the defense COM
mittee at the head, followed by the Au-
rora Turnverein, the Knights of Labor
organizations, German Typographical
union No. 0, the Carpenters union, the
Painters union. singing societies in
carriages, the hearses, and the families,
relatives and friends in carriages.
Brass bands with muffied drums will
play funeral marches while the cOrtege
moves on to the Wisconsin, Central
depot, where a special train will take
the funeral party to Waidhcim ceme-
terry. Plaster casts have been taken of
the faces of the dead anarchists. except
that of Lingg.
